Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE
"A hunting dog that appears in Germanic mythology. Garm guards Eljudnir, Hel's hall in Niflheim, and is chained in the cave of Gnipahellir. He chases away all who approach the underworld, allowing only Odin to pass. At Ragnarok, he will be released from his chain, and his howl will announce the beginning of the end. After an epic battle with Tyr, the dying Garm will sink his teeth into Tyr's throat, sending both to their deaths. Although he appears vicious at first glance, Garm is actually a big softie, timid and lonely. He is sometimes identified with Fenrir."
